Clown Testimonials

“I first met Chris when he was auditioning for a piece of devised theater I was directing. In one quick (funny) moment, he showed the kind of full open-ness that is the key ingredient to good clowning.Since then I've seen him work as a collaborator,a student and as a performer of his own material.Across the board, what is most striking is that when you see him perform, you see him. He makes fearless proposals that contribute immensely to whatever team he is creating with.Most importantly, Chris's relaxed enjoyment of being on stage puts the audience at ease and makes them feel invited to peek at his delightful nuances of expression, which feel natural and seem effortless.” – Andy Sapora, Flying Karamazov Brother and Big Apple Clown Care Supervisor“That is a silly clown!I love that clown.”- Lindsey, age 6

“We hired Stroopwafel to entertain our kids.We’ll hire him back because he had us falling out of our chairs.”- Marcia, NYC client

“We booked a clown for our office party to be ironic.And it worked- it was random and absurd.But Chris is good at what he does and I think we also found ourselves enjoying this clown in a way that wasn’t ironic at all.We still talk about it.”- Steven, NYC client“I’m not scared of clowns anymore!” – Zev, age 3

“It’s been so long since I’ve seen my child’s face late up like that.” – Patricia, NYC client
